Great Southern Killarney
Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland · Independent · Core Luxury
The railway company built this limestone Victorian in 1854 beside Killarney Railway Station, a hotel for the first mass tourists heading west. It still sits on that platform edge, original features intact, a short walk from Killarney National Park. Hayfield Family Collection runs it now, with Killarney Royal and Hayfield Manor in Cork; the door still says Great Southern.
